While playing against Shinepukur Cricket Club in the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League at the BKSP ground on Monday, Tamim Iqbal suddenly fell ill.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) postponed its meeting due to Tamim Iqbal's sudden illness. The meeting was scheduled for 12.00 pm on March 24 in Mirpur. BCB officials are now on their way to BKSP after learning about Tamim's condition.

According to sources from the club, during the match against Shinepukur Cricket Club, Tamim felt severe chest pain.
